i think you will find much of the health care and drugs is free in cuba, espcially if your low paid..
i remember watching a film 'sicko' by Michael Moore,it showed some Americans who were injured as they tired to rescue people from the 9/11 attacks, they were refused treatment in the usa or they couldn't afford it, he took them to cuba where docs looked at them and gave them medicines for free or were very cheap compared to usa prices..
